Verb types

Hi,

In the sentence:


He recommends/urges (that) she go to a doctor.


First, is it correct? And what type of verb is "recommends/urges" here please?

Is there any list of this type in BrE?

  

Top answer

He recommends/urges [ (that) she go to a doctor ]. The bracketed clause is called a subjunctive clause as complement to the verbs "recommend / urge". Are you familiar with the term 'subjunctive?
